How about an explanation of the sales tax vote in Galveston? HOow is this 1/2 of 1% millions of dollars? Are we being asked to extend a result of an earlier election? The wording is confusing, and not enough information is being presented to voters to ask them for a vote.
The building belongs to our county government. If the county is the landlord, then the buck stops at the County Judges office. As a landlord, I tried to make my tenants clean the property, but ultimately, I am responsible for unsafe conditions. I hope the county will put the property up f…
